The Language of horticulture.


What drolI things are to be met with in
Gar,lners' Gazettes, or in Half hours with
Horticulture, or in Conservatory Cliron-
icles, or in whatever other blue apron and
and PRUNING knife journal falls under the
non-technic1l eye! Here is a peep into
one OF them, Just to show its fruits of
learning and flowers of speech. In it we
read of an orchard house in full swing;
of stage in conservatory; of melons
having a collar; of a primula getting
habit; of gloxinias wanting n shift; OF all
plants requiring to be dressed; of peaches
forming elbows; of potatoes having well
ripened eyes; of currants having spurs;
of pines wanting hot water pipes under
their beds; of specimens being starved to
rest; of roses being impatient; of sap
being inclined to rush away; of azaleas
not liking tobacco smoke; of figs running
riot; of grapes that can stand sulphur
fumes. that are well out of the way, that
are no end of trouble, that may not be
left to themselves, that will not be hur-
ried. that can get rusty, that are gross
habited, that dislike to be buried, that re-
fuse to be finished off, that rob one an
other. stone themselves, have warts, and
can color, and swell, and bleed, and
start!
Gardeners, also, are directed to do dread
full deeds They are to pinch the bines,
To stake~the carnations, to strike veroni
cas-, to behead winter greens, to turn out
bouvardias, to reduce climbers, put endive
into cold pits, prick out celery, and stick
peas! The territories in which all this is to
be done are as uninviting as possible.
They are full, SO we read, of red spiders.
geenfiy, carvings, mealy bugs, wire
worms, caterpillars, carrot grubs, onion
maggots, nlildew, snails, ants, slugs, scale,
club and cats. Nor are the weapons with
which war is to be waged against these
any sweeter to the imagination. Garden
ers are to arm themselves with clay, tar,
chalk. SCOT, lime, bran, sulphur, sweet
oil, wood ashes, gas lime, rosin, soapsuds,
softsoap, nicotine soap, tobacco dust, to-
bacco paper, g,iano, quassia, paraffine,
hellehore powder, fir tree oil, brewers
grains, and red lead. In such perpetual
battle agains. garden pests-as they are
callel-the one pleasant thought is that
all seems to be greatly IN favor of the
gardener. Chambers Journal.

Oac Kingdom i'm Nature.

While it may seem singular that the
division lire between animals and plants
cannot be clearly traced-some forms
appearing to belong to either or both
kingdoms-it is still more remarkable
that mineral substances should seem to
be living creatures. One of the most in
teresting finds in the ocean depths is
Huxley's Bathybius, made of shapeless,
motionless slime. 1t has been supposed
to be the common origin of the animal
and vegetable kingdom, but its organic
character hes lately been questioned, and
many naturalists now consider it only
gelatinous gypsum. In Eozoon Canaden-
sis we have another animal of few
years ago which is now regarded as a
mineral substance Traveller.

The American Inventor says a new
process has been discovered by which
every variety of meats, fruits, vegetables,
ETC., can be preserved rs long as desired
without heating or sealing, in such a
manner as to retain all their original

by this process 100 lbs. of ham or sausage

The Government Suing to Recover
$4,000 for Wood Used at the
Ketchum Snlelter.
Some of the results of Special
Agent Caldwell's visit to this section
last summer, says the ketchum Key
stone, are now cropping out to the
surface. He spent considerable time
here, and when the political campaign
opened he was sent to Colorado.
What he accomplished is not yet fully
known. One discovery he made was
that in order to procure charcoal for
smelling purposes at the works of the
Philadelphia Company, certain
amount of wood was required. The
particular kind OF wood best adapted
for this purpose is what is generally
called "pole pine" tree that -four.
ishes for only few years and then
dies. Frank Gooding had the con-
tract to furnish this wood and
obtained it along Wood River, Prairie
creek aud other small streams and
floated the same down to the smelling
works, som6 of it coming distance
of thirty miles. Two thirds of the
wood SO procured was cut from life
less trees, Mr. Gooding paying the
choppers twenty five cents additional
per cord in order to secure such tim
Der, as it Hoated much easier than the
green logs. On Monday last U. S.
Marshal Baird arrived in town to
serve papers on the company here
and Mr.. Cooling for cutting timber
on the government ground, and max
ing them defendants in a suit in which
the government sues them for SIS, 900
damages. The defendants are to APP
pear at Boise City on the 18th OF
next month for trial.
